Come to the bridal chamber, Death !

For the first time, her first-born's breath,
And thou art terriblel
The untmely death which annually carries
OFF thousands of human beings in the prime
of youth, is indeed terrible. The first ap-
proach of consumption is insidious, and the
sufferer himself is the most unconscious of
its approach. One of the most alarming sym
toms of this dread disease is, in fact, the in
eradiCabie hope, which turks in the heart of
the victim, preventing him from taking time
ly steps to arrest the malady. That it can be
arrested in its earlier stages is beyond ques-
ton, as there are hundreds of well-auth6nti-
acted cases where DIR. Pierces Golden Medical

Grim winter holds on with great
tenacity. The beautiful weather of
Tuesday brought smile OF gladness
to the face of everyone-t he cattle
and sheep men in particular. But it
proved to be only an ageravatins
interlude performed by old Borea-
while he WAS conspiring to renew the
old programme on the following day.
Tuesday evening old luna was accom-
panied by ''moondog" and our wise
acres and local prophets said we were
going to have cold weather again.
About ten O'Clock at night the wind
rose rapidly and some people thought
it was the long delayed chinook. Vain
delusion, 1t was a zephyr fresh from
Greenland's icy mountains or Baflin's
Bay. 1t gathered up the light snow
into sheets OF pearly Wilderness and
carried it along as ii in search OF Il
bare spot upon which to unladen.
The wind ceased but it grew colder
and Wednesday morning the Their
mometer indicated 10 below zero.
Had the break in the weather re-
manned permanent, and kept warm,
the stock losses in this section would
have been greatly curtailed. a few
warm days would expose the hillsides
and timber up the benumbed animals
so they could go in search OF grass.
We can only hope for sudden change
for the better--a change that will make
the stockmans spirit rise with the
the thermometer and dispel in IA degree
the gloom that hangs over the industry.

The Fisheries Dispute.

LONDON. Jan. os.-lhe subject OF
the dispute between the United States
and Great Britain in regard to the Ca
madam fisheries was brought up in the
house of commons this afternoon.
Sir James Ferguson, parliamentary
secretary of the foreign office, in an
swer to inquiries, said the government
had been comforting with the govern
ment of the United States on the q,ies-
ton of Canadian fisheries. lie said
they were valuable, and the govern
mcnt had followed the policy concern
ing them. which had been adopted by
the proceeding governments, and would
maintain the rights of the colonists
with every desire to conciliate the
United States government. He was
unable at present to narrate the whole
course of the negotiation with the
United States, but could state that n
dispatch had been received which was
OF u pacific character and afforded
material grounds for the hope OF n
final settlement OF the dispute. United
states Minister Phelps had Il serious
conference with Salisbury to-day. at
the premier's request, to discuss the
fisheries in question. The conference
was most cordial on both sides. sal
bury expressed himself sratiiied at the
general tone OF the American press
and people in the dispute, and as
sured Mr.. Phelps that England and
Canada were equally DESTROYS of an
amicable adjustment of the whole
ease.
